Information
An extraordinary Kurikara ken
length 58,2 cm.
Straight double-edged blade (nagasa 38,8 cm). With midare hamon, sunagashi and nie. The hada is maybe of the itame masame type. Nakago mumei, with one mekugi ana. Remarkable matching koshirae. Habaki in gilded copper. The tsuka in Irogane: a support base for the habaki with silver-inlaid clouds in relief, the quillon with two arms, the grip in baluster shape culminating in a three-pointed Vajra. The copper-colored metal surface has a rough finish, partially browned, with gold elements and details and silver relief friezes. The wooden saya is in red-flecked Urushi lacquer. The kojiri and koiguchi are carved in relief with silver cloud motifs, the edges gilded and shaped to form Inome (boar's eyes). Wrapped around the saya is a beautiful dragon carved in relief in silver-colored metal, finely worked and with golden details. Among its coils, a golden mount depicts the pearl of wisdom.
